The design of the J-36 stands out for its tailless tri-jet configuration and double delta wings. These features are designed to enhance stealth and improve the aircraft’s maneuverability, potentially granting it advanced combat capabilities.

The development of a sixth-generation fighter places China among the nations seeking to advance into the next phase of air superiority, joining similar initiatives by the United States and other military powers. However, there is still no official confirmation on when the J-36 will enter production or what its strategic role will be within the People’s Liberation Army Air Force.
